Some Remarkable Men.

In the lower part of Coffee county,
Georgia. lives Mr.. Stafford. Davis, a
relative of the eX-President of the
Southern Confederacy, who is now 1O6
years old. He served through the war
of 1912 and the Mexican war, but has
never received a pension for his SER
vices and has never asked for one.
When 29 years of age he married a
Miss Hot, and now has children, grand
children, and great-grandchildren to
the number of 275. In 1872 his wife
died after sixty years of married life.
and recently he led to the altar
blushing bride of so summers. Mr..
Davis has been strong and hearty UNI
til this year. but is now quite feeble.
Washington county, Pennsylvania.
has veteran of three wars i'll 1sham
White, who says that he was born in
southern Georgia in 1776. He was
one of those who fought behind the
cotton bales under General Jackson at
New Orleans, and thinks it was a bull
let from his musket that killed General
Packenham, the commander of the
British forces on that occasion. He
served against the Indians in Florida
General Winfield Scott in Mexico.
His love for ''Old Hickory amounts
almost to reverence, and he says that
he votes for him at every Presidential
election.
One of the largest men of modern
times was Samuel Murfit, who died in
England few weeks ago. He was
six feet one inch high, and weighed
500 pounds. The girth of his waist
was nearly ten feet, and it took tape
line twenty inches long to encompass
the calf of his leg. No hearse could
be found large enough to carry his
body, and it took twenty men to lift
the coffin through the window to an
open wagon. He was native of
Wimblington, Cambridgesh;re, and
was 55 years old.
John Upton, seXagenarian resi-
dent of Illinois, has just begun the
stady of Greek. His life has been oae
Of incessant toll ON farm. with scint
opportunities for study. but every year
he put aside 4 small sum out of his

Uncle Elijah Belfiower, of Dawson,
Ca. failed to attend a recent meeting
of the masonic lodge and the members
were so surprised at his absence that
committee was sent out to see if he
was i'll. This was the second time in
forty-eight years that Mr.. .Belflower
had missed a meeting.
The biggest man in Congress is Rep
resentative George T. Barnes of Au-
gusta, Ga. He tips the beam at trlfle
over three hundred pounds. and is one
of the most popular men in the State.
His constituency is proud of him. and
he will probably remain IN Congress

Marriage In Turkey.

Marriage receives scarcely more at
tention among the Turks than birth
and death, and there is little EN-
barraSSment from the administrative
formalities that precede and accom-
pany this solemn act in the West.
There are no bans, no announcements,
no registrations A man obtains a
wife just as he would buy a bouquet,
but neither the buyer nor the seller
nor the intermediary asks for a receipt.
As it is forbidden Il man to enter the
harem of another (even if he were 4
near relative of the latter) to see
Young woman and talk with her, there
are no marriages for love and no
engagements. One father meets
another father, and says to him: You
have son and | have daughter. If
the mother of your son knows my
daughter, let us strike a bargain; if she
does not know her, let them see each
other. and let us close up the business.
The conditions are discussed, the
dowry haggled over, then all the
arrangements between the parents are
made and the young people introduced
to each other.
Let us add in passing tl.at among
Us the marriages that are contracted in
the great capitals of Europe, especially
in Paris, do not depart far from this
program. In France however n man
i still allowed tn behold the object for
the acquisition of which negotiations
are in progress. In Turkey this is for
biddeu; there marriage is n lottery
indeed.
Turkish girls are promised usually
when they are very Young. even at
tender age. when they are only 3 or 4
years old. If the Young bride should
happen io die before her marriage, or
be required for the Sultan's harem-
that breaks all engagements. and is
esteemed as great honor by parents
the intended husband is not expected
To weep over what he loses, for he has
never seen il. When the young girl
reaches her 18th or 18th year. or some
what later. her lith year. she receives
the nuptial blessing. and the husband
cannot see the face of his wife until after
that ceremony.
